Bill O'Reilly has called Free Republic a hate site and he may now have some ammunition to back up that assertion.
"A typical street whore." "A bunch of ghetto thugs." "Ghetto street trash." "Wonder when she will get her first abortion."At a time when the administration is seeking any reason to squelch any speech it deems "hate", as well as the entities where that speech may be found, what the hell were these people thinking?These are a small selection of some of the racially-charged comments posted to the conservative 'Free Republic' blog Thursday, aimed at U.S. President Barack Obama's 11-year-old daughter Malia after she was photographed wearing a t-shirt with a peace sign on the front.
The thread was accompanied by a photo of Michelle Obama speaking to Malia that featured the caption, "To entertain her daughter, Michelle Obama loves to make monkey sounds."

Nothing worse than what Letterman said about Palin and family...the hatred directed towards Sarah Palin surpasses anything I've ever seen...
Lots of trollers lie and cheat to stay on FR. They haven’t a clue that there are other red flags. Common sense is one of them.
Sign up dates don’t matter.
I am not sure; but they operate like them.
Hi Bob,
First of all a compliment on forthrightly posting a column here even when you where discouraged about what you had heard and partially seen. It is a great compliment that you trusted us enough to post something critical. Thanks for the vote of fellowship.
Secondly the people hear are giving you both the back-story and the “rest-of-the-story” that you hadn’t heard but you knew you could depend upon that feedback to get fully up to date on the no-line comentary.
Like the MSNBC commentator who is going to comment on this tomorrow morning, who neglects to point out that he used comments on the Clinton’s “pinping out” Chelsea a decade ago himself.
But really, the bottom line is that while there were trolls and disrupters, we on the conservative side have hangers-on that are actually reactioaries. Some are nonsensically attached to prejudices and temperments of a decade ago. The left has their leftist revolutionary killers and we have our old-goats that we lambast when we can. I am sure there is a taint of that sort of ooverblown character who frequents a site of any political flavor.
Every President and many candidates have been through it long before the computer age. It goes with the territory. But PC political speach that is always sensitive to the left is not something we respect a whole lot, you and I. I wish I could have been on the thread and added resonable chastisement as do many others — the Obama continual campaign instead of reasonable executive service is a trial with each new day bring a new mess — so we can’t be everywhere.
Again, thanks for serving the bitter with the sweet and I tip my hat to your fair mindedness.
I want to know how those are racial comments. After all Obama is half white and his daughters a quarter white.
Are there NO white ghettos, white street whores and do ONLY black girls get abortions? If all that were true then they could be considered racist.
While these remarks are in poor taste please tell me how they are racially motivated? Or, are any poor taste comments automatically racist?
Maybe they were; maybe they weren’t.
Well, Bob/bocopar, did you come onto FR while that thread was running and post a few racist/disgusting comments under another name, to help Parry get his story so you could flame away with it, too?
The main reason I don’t use it as a nickname is that folks might think of the computer criminals.
Have you considered writing about the Black Crackers? The title alone could guarantee a heavy response.

Quite so.
I believe the guy is Avery Robinson, 17, son of Oregon State Basketball Coach Craig Robinson, who is Obama's brother in law.
So as long as I don't do something that is as bad as what someone else has done, it's ok?
Since you brought up O’Blowhard. Maybe he should keep his own house in order.
Yeah, and the post got pulled. However, to be technically correct, I don’t think she was actually called a whore.
I’ve heard mothers telling their daughters not to go out in public dressed like tramps. Doubt they were actually accusing them of being such.
And I can remember me own dear sainted mother telling my young sisters that their shorts were on so tight they couldn’t fart. And she’d make them change before leaving the house.
You betcha! The hate that comes from outsiders pretending to be what they’re not just to try and get FR in trouble. True FR members are smarter then that.
Perhaps not. But, how can you claim those slurs were racist? Were comments about Palin's children racist or simply bad taste?
Newbie, I know a quote and I know rude language. If you go though my bookmarks you can see this subject was dear to my heart and has been for many years.
Kamer, BTW, IIRC, is the now banned ‘Inspector Harry Callahan’. His slim covered liberal self was exposed and he was banned.
I did too. I’ve lost respect for him now.
Let him go to DU/KOS and come back with thoughts
on those racist insane azzes.
Black people call me “redneck” and “trailer trash” all the time when they disagree with my conservative view.
